It was great to share succession planning information today at our inaugural workshop in Middleton, Wisconsin. I hope to see you tomorrow in Owatonna or on Thursday in Sioux Falls.

Be sure to catch this Thursday's episode of 'Leave a Legacy' TV, a special presentation of AgDay.

This week's guests are Ryan Esther and Rafael Ruano. The Leavens are our featured family - a 'cousins generation' in Ventura County, California. And on 'Legends of Leadership' we'll meet Chad Olsen, an impressive young agripreneur from Minnesota.
